Researchers map real-time signals that trigger T cell activation
A cluster of recent studies has sharpened the scientific picture of how T cells switch on, tracking the molecular signals that launch immune responses with resolution measured in seconds. By combining ...
The orchestration of T cell activation is central to immune defence and self-tolerance. Recent advances have revealed that T cells integrate signals from their antigen receptors alongside a network of ...
A team identified herpes virus saimiri, which infects the T cells of squirrel monkeys, as a source of proteins that activate pathways in T cells that are needed to promote T cell survival. Recent ...
Immunotherapy has transformed cancer care, offering a way to harness the body’s own immune system to fight tumors. But even with these advances, many patients still don’t respond. One major barrier to ...
Antibodies are most well-known for their ability to recognize and bind specific antigens—a property that has made them indispensable for both the laboratory and clinic. However, antibodies are not ...
NGF pathway drives tumour growth. Innate lymphoid cells type 2 (ILC2s) are key regulators of tissue homeostasis and ...
The NF-κB-inducing kinase (NIK), a molecule pivotal for immune system development and function, shows significant yet complex potential as a therapeutic target. The comprehensive review, published by ...
